Lil\u00adli raves: When I had a visit from lady but\u00adter\u00adflies on the Pata\u00adgo\u00adni\u00adan ver\u00adbe\u00adna last year, I thought I was going to faint with joy, I was so plea\u00adsed! Well, the\u00adre are loads of bees and hover\u00adflies and all sorts here. With ani\u00admal visi\u00adtors, whe\u00adther it\u2019s gold\u00adfin\u00adches that have sud\u00adden\u00adly arri\u00adved or tits that are living here at the moment, I have the fee\u00adling that the\u00adre are few things that make you hap\u00adpier than natu\u00adre, and I don\u2019t mean walks in the park, but this imme\u00addia\u00adte natu\u00adre with squir\u00adrels, as it is with you, or but\u00adter\u00adflies or bees. Even fin\u00adding ants in the pots is extre\u00adme\u00adly tou\u00adch\u00ading. That makes me incre\u00addi\u00adbly hap\u00adpy. I think it\u2019s the ani\u00admals, it\u2019s sim\u00adply life its\u00adelf that makes the plants bloom. Even in their tran\u00adsi\u00adence, as it is now on the bal\u00adc\u00ado\u00adny, it\u2019s so beau\u00adtiful. And then you also have some\u00adthing that you can eat that is healt\u00adhi\u00ader than what you might even get from the health food store. But the vital sub\u00ads\u00adtances and vit\u00adamins in the vege\u00adta\u00adbles or herbs from the bal\u00adc\u00ado\u00adny in a direct har\u00adve\u00adst are much, much hig\u00adher. A bal\u00adc\u00ado\u00adny is win-win-win-win!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lil\u00adli is not only good with flowers, her toma\u00adtoes are also a stun\u00adner. The Ber\u00adlin air is good for you :). With a view of the Ber\u00adlin TV tower and the Rotes Rat\u00adhaus :). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quo\u00adte Lil\u00adli: This pic\u00adtu\u00adre tou\u00adch\u00ades me. This is my sweetie\u2019s hand. When I don\u2019t have to go to the who\u00adle\u00adsa\u00adle mar\u00adket, we have break\u00adfast in bed. And there\u2019s always a handful of har\u00adve\u00adst from the bal\u00adc\u00ado\u00adny, which my swee\u00adtie coll\u00adects and dra\u00adpes on the pla\u00adte. On this day, the\u00adre was deli\u00adcious French tar\u00adra\u00adgon, small fresh mint lea\u00adves, this incre\u00addi\u00adbly unu\u00adsu\u00adal, almost sweet aro\u00adma\u00adtic cin\u00adna\u00admon basil, deli\u00adcious, hap\u00adpi\u00adness-indu\u00adcing autumn raspber\u00adries, the lush\u00adly gro\u00adwing, crun\u00adchy sweet red marb\u00adle toma\u00adto, deli\u00adca\u00adte, high-stem\u00admed indoor gar\u00adlic blos\u00adsoms, wild straw\u00adber\u00adry fla\u00advor bombs & lemon chi\u00adli \u2014 a real\u00adly crisp, spi\u00adcy pick-me-up!

Cat bal\u00adc\u00ado\u00adny <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Cat<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Quo\u00adte Lil\u00adli: So in 2011, in the midd\u00adle of Novem\u00adber, I moved in here. The\u00adre are two bal\u00adco\u00adnies, one is 1.40 x 7.00 meters with a south-west ori\u00aden\u00adta\u00adti\u00adon, an ins\u00ada\u00adne gift, and the other bal\u00adc\u00ado\u00adny is oppo\u00adsi\u00adte with a south-east ori\u00aden\u00adta\u00adti\u00adon, is lined very high with a wall, so you don\u2019t want to sit the\u00adre becau\u00adse you feel crow\u00added. But I put a big birch tree on the\u00adre and a cat net, and that\u2019s now the cat bal\u00adc\u00ado\u00adny. At the begin\u00adning I thought you should only give the cats non-toxic plants, which is why a bam\u00adboo lives the\u00adre, but in the mean\u00adti\u00adme it has tur\u00adned out that only Luzie is inte\u00adres\u00adted in nib\u00adbles any\u00adway, and she eats grass and not\u00adhing else.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lilli\u2019s per\u00adso\u00adnal plant recom\u00admen\u00adda\u00adti\u00adons for a beau\u00adtiful, easy-care bal\u00adc\u00ado\u00adny that attracts ani\u00admals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A long bal\u00adc\u00ado\u00adny sea\u00adson with lots of dif\u00adfe\u00adrent honey plants is very important to me. The plants I recom\u00admend, I recom\u00admend from expe\u00adri\u00adence. I have them on my bal\u00adc\u00ado\u00adny mys\u00adelf and am par\u00adti\u00adcu\u00adlar\u00adly enthu\u00adsi\u00ada\u00adstic about them. Of cour\u00adse, the\u00adre are also many other tre\u00adasu\u00adres that have not (yet) moved in with us, but are total\u00adly valuable for a bal\u00adc\u00ado\u00adny. Wil\u00adlows or a colum\u00adnar apple, for exam\u00adp\u00adle. So this list is total\u00adly incom\u00adple\u00adte: I like to plant com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adties in lar\u00adge pots and asso\u00adcia\u00adte plants with simi\u00adlar requi\u00adre\u00adments or becau\u00adse of their sup\u00adport\u00adi\u00adve effect. I like to use dif\u00adfe\u00adrent plant fami\u00adlies and heights. I like ground cover peren\u00adni\u00adals, which act as a mulch and cover the bare, open soil. I had only mode\u00adra\u00adte suc\u00adcess with mul\u00adching last year. I stron\u00adgly advi\u00adse against using hay and I\u2019ll list a few of my WGs:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
